Most of the time, my panic attacks happen for no reason. Sometimes it starts because of something happening or when I have a bad feeling about something. So it is possible.

It is normal to have panic attacks without triggers. If you have a panic attack that seems out of the blue, there may be a less obvious cause. If you have daily stresses at work or home, try to minimize your stress. Also limit your caffeine, and alcohol intake. (Talk to your doctor about any medication or other possible stimulants that may be causing it). Get plenty of rest, and exercise (a daily walk may help), and eat regularly. Panic attacks are unpredictable, but you can minimize their onsets.

Yes it could have been something you seen earlier that day and you surpressed it and your body when it was relaxed decided to let that pressure off.

In my experience there are triggers, but we don't usually know what they are and they are very hard to understand because many come from causes that we don't remember.

Based on my personal experience, I'd say it's not uncommon or odd. It could be due to many things... heightened levels of stress, being overwhelmed, or your brain may even have triggers that you don't know about. The brain is a complex thing and sometimes it just does things you don't always understand!

Depending on its situation. Most of the time, it is normal to have panic attacks. It is all in our mind. We lead our thinking into a deeper tunnel that seems so dark that makes you think there is no way out.

Yes, I think. It occurs to me too. It happens to me, especially when I'm in public. I don't even know the reason, it just happens to me.

Yes. You may not think there are any triggers, but there are. Even smells, or sounds can be a trigger.
